An Appreciation of 

T Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas 

By OPIE READ, Author of “A Kentucky Colonel,” “The Jucklins,” etc. 


Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration 


RT is the mistress of many tricks. Her highest function is 
to cajole nature, to help nature to deceive herself; and 
while art may not offer to nature a new canvas, yet she can 
assist our common mother in the accent of color, in 
grouping, in assembling in a comparatively small area all the varied 
and startling features of a mighty landscape. Architecture was the 
great material art of the Greeks; landscape gardening, park-making 
a fine art in modern Europe and new America. Park-making is a 
painting broadly spread, the canvas depressed here into a valley, while 
over there it arises to the height of a graceful hill. With pardonable 
pride America may call the attention of the world to a number of 
national park paintings. Tourists have written of them, and have 
snapped the camera upon every feature of their varied countenances. 
We all of us have our favorites. Some of us cling with a sort of awed 
fondness to the great unrolling vistas of the West, contemplating the 
poetry that lies in mysterious distance. Of these mighty regions 
called parks I stand in awe, as one must while looking upon a moun¬ 
tain, a cacti-bristling desert; but to me the gem of all the parks is the 
government reservation at Hot Springs, Arkansas. This may be 
sentiment, the reverie that steals upon us when in a picture gallery we 
view a scene endeared with recollection; but strangers have told me 
that this admiration comes not only from the treasured memories of 
the long ago, but that national Hot Springs is possessed of a charm 
all its own. And I know that this is true. Nowhere are mountains 
more graceful. Nowhere is there a mist so silvery, flashing in the rise

of the sun. You have the feeling that you stand in the presence of a 
deep mystery, that theories have been advanced but that after all no one 
knows the source and the cause of the heat that boils this mighty 
cauldron. 

Long before Cortez frightened the Aztecs, not with his bellowing 
cannon but with his neighing horses; long before Columbus ruddered 
his way to America; yea, while the Crusaders were marching toward the 
holy Tomb, ah, before the mud wall of the village of Rome was dry, 
the North American Indians traveled hundreds of miles to Hot Springs, 
the fountain of youth, to sit in wise council and to regain their health. 
In this broad domain there are other hot waters, just as there are varied 
waters that are cold; but the Hot Springs, Arkansas, seem to be the 
original, smiling upon all others the blithe ban of imitation. The 
difference is a mystery, and in this there lies an added charm. 

The city of Hot Springs, bordered and overlooked by the mountain 
park, is near the center of population. It is within a few hours of the 
great cities of the interior. And though the distance be short, it is 
like going into another world. There is no rawness, but all has been 
mellowed by time. With the Indians it is ancient; with us it is old. 
Sixty miles away, in Little Rock, the capital of the state, they are 
preparing to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the leading 
morning newspaper of the state. 

For more than a century people of the South have gone to Hot Springs 
for pleasure and for recuperation, but it is only within short memory 
that the North has recognized it as a feature of national attraction. 
This has been brought about by the artistic landscape painting done 
by the Government. Artists of world-wide fame have given to the park 
the creative touch of art. But as much as art has done, nature has 
done more. Nature threw herself into voluptuous attitudes and 
stillness caught her.

To the American People: 

Uncle Sam asks you to be his guest. He has prepared for you the 
choice places of this continent—places of grandeur, beauty and of 
wonder. He has built roads through the deep-cut canyons and beside 
happy streams, which will carry you into these places in comfort, and 
has provided lodgings and food in the most distant and inaccessible 
places that you might enjoy yourself and realize as little as possible 
the rigors of the pioneer traveler’s life. These are for you. They are 
the playgrounds of the people. To see them is to make more hearty 
your affection and admiration for America. 



Hot Springs National Park 


OT SPRINGS, Arkansas — 
The great American Spa—a 
jumble of happy memories 
for the man who has been 
there—a medley of pleasant 
anticipations for the man who is planning 
to go! For Hot Springs is a potpourri 
of waters, waters, outdoor sports, social 
gayeties, invigorating air, wooded moun¬ 
tains, green valleys and more waters. 

Poets of all ages have celebrated the 
purity of springs. There was an ancient 
spring on Mount Parnassus sacred to the 
Muses and to Apollo, to drink from 
which was to become imbued with the 
spirit of poesy. In later times there have 
been, in many lands, wells or springs 
sacred to certain saints. And through 
all time has run a legend of a fountain of 
youth, the waters of which had potency 
to stave off both age and death. There 
have always been waters to which men 
and women repaired to recuperate from 
the strain of living, and these places 
have invariably become the resorts of 
fashion. 


All Rome that was rich or famous went 
in the season to Baiae on the Bay of 
Naples, where were warm mineral springs 
celebrated for their effectiveness in over¬ 
coming the consequences of the strenuous 
life in the Eternal City. The history of 
springs of this kind is well known. Every 
country has them. And all down the 
ages comes testimony that the waters 
gushing from the bosom of Mother Earth 
are efficacious in relieving the ills to 
which the flesh is heir. 

But of all the world’s beneficent waters 
there are none to compare with the Hot 
Springs of Arkansas. “Their fame has 
filled the seven climes.” They are abso¬ 
lutely unparalleled in hygienic qualities. 
The testimony to their curative and re¬ 
storative powers is overwhelming both 
in extent and character. 

And, best of all, these American springs 
differ from the Roman springs in that 
they are the mecca not only of the rich 
and famous, but of the countless thous¬ 
ands of everyday citizens of this and 
foreign countries.

Government possession has made them 
a universal institution. 

Our First National Park 

In 1832 Congress, appreciating the 
unusual value of these waters, set apart 
a reservation comprising four sections of 
land surrounding the springs and dedicat¬ 
ed it as a national sanitarium for all time. 
It was our first National Park. 

Before that time the healing quality of 
the hot water is thought to have been an 
open secret among the hardy pioneers 
who had ventured beyond the narrow 
confines of eastern civilization. In their 
intercourse with the Indians many mar¬ 
velous tales were doubtless borne to their 
ears. The hot wells of the Ozarks figured 
prominently in the traditional history of 
many of the mid-continent tribes, and it 
is probable that not a few of the early 
explorers to whom these stories of won¬ 
derful cures were passed, visited the valley 
to confirm them. But there are no positive 
historical data fixing the date and giving 
the name of the first white discoverer. 
Legends have it that it was the fame of 
these hot pools which first prompted 


Ponce de Leon to embark upon his 
romantic search for the fountain of eternal 
youth. Other and more plausible legends 
indicate a visit to the spot by De Soto in 
1341, and it is not unlikely that, later on, 
many other white men were led to the 
valley by their red brothers and provided 
with abundant evidence of the Super¬ 
natural Presence to which were ascribed 
the curative properties of these waters. 

But our only authentic evidence of 
white visitors at the springs dates back 
no farther than the year 1800. Two of 
Lewis and Clark’s explorers, branching 
out from the main trail of that expedition, 
visited the place in 1804 and found a log 
cabin and a few huts which had been 
the work of white men’s hands. Two or 
three years later a few scattered settlers 
followed the trail thus blazed. And from 
that time the reputation of the springs 
began to spread, each year adding to 
their fame. 

None of these early beneficiaries of the 
waters undertsood the chemical processes 
by which their health-giving miracles 
were performed. All that the Indians 



There are forty-six thermal springs like this welling up from mysterious depths, with an aggregate flow of 826,308 gallons 

every day.

knew, all that the explorers and pioneers 
knew, was that the baths accomplished 
their rejuvenation, and that they quieted 
their aches and pains. The higher 
civilization which followed them gained 
a little in knowledge of the water and its 
application, but our Congress of 1832 
knew nothing of radio-activity and even 
our super-minds of today have not fully 
fathomed the mystery. 

The City and It* Visitor* 

Hot Springs National Park—adminis¬ 
tered by the National Park Service of the 
Department of the Interior — is situated 
in the Southwestern part of the state of 
Arkansas, in the wild and picturesque 
Ozark Mountain region, 34 miles from 
Benton and 60 miles from Little Rock, 
the capital of the state. 

The waters that give the place its 
name, gush from the bases of the wooded 
mountains that comprise the Park, and 
in the valley is a beautiful city, which 
nestles against gigantic hills and then 
spreads out upon a pleasant, broad plain. 
The cool mountain breezes blow through 


this valley in the summer time, and in 
the winter it is protected by the peaks 
that rim its basin. Nature is here in an 
entrancing mood. The Ozarks stand 
guard over the valley and the busy town, 
in the splendor of their changing foliages. 

As a result Hot Springs is not only a 
world wide health resort, but an inter¬ 
national pleasure resort, one of the most 
popular in the world. It is the great 
American Spa in the larger sense of the 
term, and, as such, it is more a pleasure 
resort than a health resort. Here are 
neat resort hotels and magnificent bath 
houses; wooded driveways and winding 
bridle paths; golf courses, speedways and 
all the other attractions of a center of 
sport and fashion. Indeed, if the great 
Alchemist of the Ozarks were to close 
His favorite laboratory; if He were to 
upturn His mysterious crucible and 
destroy the radium, the silicon and all 
those elements used in compounding His 
health-restoring waters; if these waters 
were blotted entirely from the face of the 
earth, the city of Hot Springs, because of 
the tonic in the air, the mild winter

climate and the dry summer climate, the 
glorious green hills and the pleasant 
meandering valleys, would continue to be 
a favored spot for rest and recreation. 

At the hotels in the season from Jan¬ 
uary until May—though, indeed, lately 
the season tends to be an all-year matter 
—one may find the smartest company 
imaginable. The guests come from every¬ 
where. They are people of mark— 
leaders of fashion and of sport; political 
leaders and statesmen; overworked bus¬ 
iness men, actors, authors, clergymen— 
all well known in their spheres. The scene 
is one of animation. The lobbies are a 
buzz and swirl. There is an intoxicating 
blend of chatter and laughter. There is 
music and dancing. And out of the 
hotels these people swarm into Central 
Avenue, recalling a parade on Fifth 
Avenue, New York, or Michigan Avenue 
in Chicago. In the dining rooms and 
lounges there is the evening atmosphere 
of the metropolitan hotels. Time passes 
gaily. Fashion flourishes. This life 
overshadows the life of the many who 


come to conserve or to regain their health. 
It is intensely cosmopolitan, and the 
people who make it up are all to be found 
in the social register. 

More and more is Hot Springs becom¬ 
ing a place of recuperation for tired 
business men and women. Thousands 
break away from the rush and grind for 
a week or ten days of rest and a few of 
these amazingly restorative baths, in 
order to go back to new achievements 
with new force and vigor. 

The Mountains and Springs 

The Park comprises more than 900 
acres including Hot Springs mountain, 
North Mountain, West Mountain and 
Whittington Lake Park. It contains 
forty-six thermal springs, which have an 
average aggregate flow of 826,308 gallons 
daily, and range in temperature from 102 
to 147 degrees. 

The mountains of the Park rise about 
800 feet above the city. Millions of 
dollars have been expended by the 
Government in hewing out roadways, 



A wooded retreat on the mountain. Many quiet spots like this are to be found within little more than a stone's throw 

from the business center of the city.

trails and walks, that wind around the 
mountains. At every curve is some new 
natural picture. The vistas are mag¬ 
nificent. The play of light and shade 
presents ever new combinations of colors. 
In the forests are open places beautified 
by means of landscape gardening and 
pavilions for rest and shelter. 

Fifteen miles of Government-built 
drives and walks make these mountains 
easy to climb. From the great tower on 
the forested heights one looks down upon 
the city and into the distance where 
stretch farms, dappled with sun and 
shade. 

For other wild beauty there is nothing 
that surpasses the drive through the 
gorge between North and South Moun¬ 
tains. It is a diverting experience to go 
through this gigantic cleft and observe 
the evidences everywhere of the tre¬ 
mendous past when first great cataclysms 
tore the huge hills asunder. 

In the wilderness you come upon 
patches of smooth velvety green contrast¬ 
ing with the jagged cliff sides and the 


titanic debris of shattered strata, dozens 
of feet thick, which mark the road for 
quite a distance. 

Bathing Not Only Healthful But 
Delightful 

Bathing in the water of Hot Springs is 
an experience not to be forgotten. It 
has an effect as of marvelous resiliency, 
as if it were more solid than water, yet 
delightfully yielding. The testimony of 
those who have used this water is that in 
contact with the body it gives a decided 
impression of what seems to be best 
described as magnetism. 

Within recent years radium has become 
known as a powerful healing agent. 
Many cases formerly considered hopeless¬ 
ly incurable have yielded readily to its 
activity, but because of its unlimited 
energy its use has been confined alto¬ 
gether to local applications. No method 
has ever been devised by man whereby 
radium may be applied to all parts of a 
disordered body at the same time. 
Scarcity and appalling cost have made 
experiments along that line impossible.

But Nature, though carefully guarding 
her secret, has solved the problem at 
Hot Springs. The waters are radio¬ 
active, and by means of the bath every 
rheumatic joint, every sealed-up pore of 
the skin may be not only reached and 
cleansed of impurities, but renewed under 
the influence of that brain-baffling cur¬ 
ative which we call radio-activity. 

The waters have been carefully ana¬ 
lyzed and the consensus of opinion is that 
they contain much free carbonic acid gas, 
a combination of hydrogen and silicon 
and several other constitutents of less 
importance. 

Their natural warmth, which would 
make any other water in the world un¬ 
palatable, does not affect the water here, 
its composites entirely overcoming such 
a tendency. People drink it and, when 
its temperature has been reduced to suit 
the requirements of each individual case, 
people bathe in it and go away rejoicing. 
Its efficacy is best judged by statistics, 
for according to figures painstakingly 
compiled, more than ninety per cent of 


those who have taken a full course of 
baths have been either cured or benefited 
by them. 

In addition to the hot springs there are 
many cold springs in and about the city. 
It is seldom that Nature blows hot and 
cold at the same time; but here, in this 
favored spot, one doesn’t have to go far 
to see this curious phenomenon, some of 
the cold springs being found in close 
proximity to the hot. Many of these 
have mineral properties—solutions of 
magnesia, iron, potash and sulphur— 
which physicians often prescribe for sys¬ 
temic disorders; others are known solely 
for their pure, fresh water whose purity 
is superlative. The waters of these are 
bottled and, in some instances, shipped 
to distant cities. 

It is over the bath-houses that the 
National Park Service exercises the most 
rigid control. The condition and appoint¬ 
ments of each bath-house are inspected 
regularly by Government officials. Every¬ 
thing must appear as represented and 
everything must be clean and sanitary. 



Progress of Hot Springs has been marked by the growth and character of the bath house. First the oak-shaded temple of 
the Indian; then the cabin of the pioneer, and finally, through various stages of development, 
the stone and granite structure of modern civilization.

When Uncle Sam acts as host, there must 
be nothing to mar the pleasure of his 
guests. On another page of this booklet 
will be found a list of bath-houses giving 
the rates of each. These rates are regu¬ 
lated by the Government and vary ac¬ 
cording to the equipment and accommo¬ 
dations furnished. On Bath House Row, 
the noted Midway of the place, there are 
ten bath-houses covering a space of about 
three blocks. Besides these, there are 
other bath-houses in various parts of the 
city, some of which are operated in con¬ 
nection with the hotels. All use the 
same water and are under the same official 
supervision. There is also a Government 
free bath-house for those who are unable 
to pay for the service, and in connection 
with the Army and Navy Hospital a 
bath-house is maintained for the benefit 
of our disabled soldier and sailor boys. 

Although the cures effected are some¬ 
times almost miraculous, there is nothing 
extraordinary in the method of adminis¬ 
tering the bath. Equipment and appli¬ 
ances are better than are to be found in 
the average home. The tubs are large, 


the attendants attentive. There are 
needle baths and vapor baths for those 
who desire them, but the main object is 
a thorough immersion in the hot radio¬ 
active water in the tub. 

When the bath has been taken, the 
patron proceeds from the high tempera¬ 
ture of the first cooling room to the almost 
normal temperature of the last, tarrying 
in each of the intermediate cooling rooms 
long enough to avoid sudden changes. 
Finally comes the after-glow of the bath 
as he lies luxuriously upon one of the 
cooling room couches, conversing lazily 
with his fellow-patrons or simply resting. 
Truly, to bathe in the waters of Hot 
Springs is to feel the hand of Nature in 
one of her most helpful moods—gentle, 
caressing, touching the body lightly 
and without inflicting the slightest pain. 

The Many Hotels 

One hotel in Hot Springs—the East¬ 
man—can care for a thousand guests. 
Two others—the Majestic and the Arling¬ 
ton—have a capacity of 500 each. The 
Como and the Goddard have accom¬ 
modations for 250 to 300, and a score of 
others can entertain from 25 to 125 each. 
In addition there are 500 boarding and 
rooming houses, furnished cottages and

history have been written. 


apartments. The Business Men’s League 
of Hot Springs, Arkansas, is an enter¬ 
prising and reliable civic organization 
available for the purpose of assisting 
visitors in locating quarters to suit their 
purses. This service is free. 

How the Visitor “Comes Back” 

The spirit of Hot Springs creeps into the 
veins of the newcomer unawares. The average 
visitor enters the valley fagged out mentally 
and physically. He is the victim of too much 
applied energy in one direction, and a sense 
of relief, of freedom from care, steals over him 
as he establishes himself in his commodious 
quarters and prepares for a good rest. When 
he enters upon his course of baths, his business 
or domestic problems, though pigeonholed 
somewhere in the back of his head, have not 
been entirely forgotten. For the first few days 
he lies upon his cooling-room couch, his body 
relaxed, his eyes closed, his ears deaf to the 
voices of those about him. 

Then, suddenly, he awakes. A new and un¬ 
usual feeling of animation possesses him. His 
blood is beginning to tingle. His old-time energy 
is coming back to him and his thoughts are turn¬ 
ing to golf, to tennis, to horse-back riding and to 
all those amusements which interested him before 
the days that had brought more serious affairs 
to claim all his time and to hold his nose too 
steadily to the hard surface of the business grind¬ 
stone. 

Then it is that he begins to appreciate what 
is happening to him, to understand that the baths 
have driven all sluggishness from his blood, have 
given him the energy not only to work but to play 


and have created in him the desire to play. And 
he plunges joyfully into the whirlpool of Hot 
Springs activity. 

Recreation and Amusements 

There is enjoyment for all in the amusements, 
sports and social activities at Hot Springs. The 
out-of-doors life, made possible by the mild 
southern climate, is always alluring. 

The driveways are enlivened by coaching 
parties and elaborate liveried “turnouts’', for 
the spirited horse still holds his own against the 
automobile at Hot Springs. On both the drive¬ 
ways and bridle paths the number of equestrians 
is unusual, horseback riding being a favorite 
exercise. The horse at Hot Springs is still given 
the honor that is due him. It is claimed that no 
city of equal size in the world can boast a 
greater number of superb saddle animals, Ken¬ 
tucky bred and full of mettle, but trained to the 
use of the inexperienced. There is also the 
famous Oaklawn race track, where many chapters 
of racing history have been written. 

Under the regulations automobiles are per¬ 
mitted on certain of the mountain roads of the 
Reservation, and the adjoining country furnishes 
ample opportunity for more extended motor 
trips. Good roads are numerous, and among 
them is one leading to Little Rock, the capital of 
the state. 

Happy Days on the Golf Links 

In these modern times no resort is complete 
without its golf links—so there is a course at Hot 
Springs. The Hot Springs Country Club is 
located beyond the city limits, but within easy 
reach. It comprises 250 acres of rolling green 
with an 18-hole course, the holes varying in 
length from 100 to 500 yards. Naturally there is 
the adjunct of a spacious and attractive club 


Page fifteen 









house. From the veranda of the latter, 16 of the 
18 putting greens are visible, as well as 6,500 
yards of the fairway. The course is well cared 
for and meets every demand of the most exacting 
professional. The tees and putting greens are of 
packed sand, while the fairway is of Bermuda 
grass. The greens as a whole are of rare land¬ 
scape beauty and the hazards, or many of them, 
have been supplied by nature. Matches and 
tournaments are scheduled in season; and the 
payment of a small fee admits all visitors to the 
privileges of the club house and golf course. 

Base Ball and Tennis 

During the training season major league base 
ball clubs are at Hot Springs for the baths and 
preliminary work, in consequence of which the 
visitor is at that time treated to some of the 
finest exhibition games. 

Tennis courts have been laid out in various 
localities and in their settings are ample for the 
use of the professional or the amateur. 

Whittington Lake Amusement Park 

Whittington Lake Park largely partakes of the 
nature of an amusement park. Athletic sports, 
band concerts, the summer theatre, animals, 
electric fountains, swings, tennis courts, base ball 
fields and a variety of other features make it a 
place where care-free crowds congregate in large 
numbers. Nearby are the alligator and ostrich 
farms. 

The Ostrich Farm 

Of the ostrich it has been said that those great 
gawky birds are of all things animate the “most 
innocently powerful”, and the “most powerfully 
innocent”. They are a study—these birds—a kick 
from whose legs has power to kill and whose 
wonderful eyes create speculations as to whether 
their little twinkle means mischief or a joke. 
Of course the display of feathers, of which they 


are proud, are of special interest to the women. 
One learns much as to the characteristics and 
the habits of this bird at the farm. As an 
amusement feature, birds trained for the purpose 
are ridden astride, or harnessed and driven to 
little sulkies. 

Alligator Farm 

At the Alligator Farm hundreds of ’gators are 
exhibited, ranging in length from a few inches to 
twenty feet, and in age from a few days old to a 
hundred or two hundred years. The alligator 
is not pleasing to look at. He has a vicious eye, 
and a more vicious tail. As you look over the 
exhibit you are pleased to know that such un¬ 
beautiful things make up into such very nice 
handbags. 

The Social Life 

If not interested in the waters, the visitor may 
forget that the place is a Spa. Behind the bath¬ 
houses on Bath House Row rise the glorious 
Ozark Hills with all their pleasures. The greater 
hotels are resort hotels. There is the music, 
the dancing, the entertainments of many kinds— 
and the invigorating outdoor life saturated with 
the romantic spirit of the South. There is the 
riding, the golfing, the motoring, the mountain 
climbing and all the rest. One may spend a whole 
season in these pleasures alone—and meet 
America, for Hot Springs draws its patrons from 
every nook and corner of the country. 

Or one may live this invigorating life and 
have the stimulus of morning baths besides; the 
greater hotels have their own unobtrusive bath 
houses, and the baths are for the well and weary 
as well as for the sick. 

Or, if he wants the Spa life, he may have that 
to the full. A few steps cityward, and there are

automobile. Hot Springs offers an ideal vacation. 


famous Spas abroad. He may live this life to its 
full, sitting in the parks, taking the Oertel walks, 
drinking the waters as well as bathing in them. 

Or he may combine the two kinds of life in any 
proportion he pleases. 

For convalescents the so-called Oertel System 
of Graduated walking courses is very beneficial. 
These courses are indicated by painted stone 
monuments with a distance number cut on two 


faces. By these monuments, patients can easily 
see the distance they have walked. The first 
or yellow course, is comparatively level; the 
second, or green course, slightly inclined; the 
third, or blue course, fairly steep; and the fourth, 
or red course, very steep. The length and 
character of the walks taken under this system 
are determined by physicians, according to the 
condition and progress of patients.

It is impossible to see all of Hot Springs from any single viewpoint. The streets wind in and out, following the valley levels, and from the top of the tower on Hot Springs Mountain 

the visitor sees little more than a maze—a huge cubist picture, beautiful in its coloring and delightfully bewildering in its outline.
